It's a Dalmatian sitting down!

Hi there. I hope this post finds you all healthy and happy. My eldest son and his girlfriend have had fresher's flu. I'd not heard of this, having not been to university, but seemingly the new intake of students brings out lovely new bugs which are happily shared between all the students causing misery for a few weeks. In the son's and his girlfriend's case I know this is true but I'm sure the extra drink discounts in the pubs and clubs during fresher weeks may also be a contributing factor to some of the students taking time off from their studies. Anyway back to the strange heading. I want to enter the Live and Love Crafts October Challenge in which you have to think pink. Well I haven't got time to stop making Christmas cards, not that I've made many, so I thought why not make a pink one. Obviously it still needs to look like a Christmas card so it's taken a while to get the balance right. I decided to use a charm I've had for many years but it was too bright a gold so I put Shabby white Fran-tage on it ( tip to silly people like me, when you've just heated a metal object with a heat gun don't try to pick it up with your fingers straight away!) I showed it to hubby saying doesn't it look a bit like an angel, it's actually a bell if you can't tell, and he replied that it looks like a Dalmatian sitting down. Well I looked at it but I just don't see it so please tell me what you think it looks like.

Hi Debra what a stunning card love the pink for Christmas theme its a good idea I need to do more Christmas cards but seem to get side tracked doing other things like another Retirement cards. Love this Frantage and my opinion is the bell now looks like an angel if I really stretch the imagination and keep your hubby happy could be a Dalmation lying down !!! well maybe. Hope your son and girlfriend are feeling better soon. Good luck in the challenges the card gets my vote Love and Happy Crafting Carole x

Hi Debra, This is my "fave" christmas stamp at the moment.. I love what you've done with it and I especially <3 the white poinsettia. I have been making ribbon roses today and burnt my fingers soooo many times with the glue gun it isn't funny, who knew crafting could be so dangerous ;) Tell Hubby he needs to get a stronger script for his eyes it looks like a bell to me!!!! Keep wellNicky =^-^=
